What is the theoretical mass of xenon tetrafluoride that should form when 130 G of xenon is reacted with 100 G of F2?

To determine the theoretical mass of xenon tetrafluoride that forms, first calculate the limiting reactant by converting the masses of xenon and fluorine to moles using their molar masses. Then, use the mole ratio from the balanced chemical equation (Xe + 2F2 -> XeF4) to find the limiting reactant. Finally, use the limiting reactant to calculate the theoretical mass of xenon tetrafluoride formed.


The substance whose mass is used to calculate the theoretical yields of the products is known as what?

If I recall my chemistry class from 10 years ago correctly, that's the limiting reagent.


What mass of HgBr2 can be produced from the reaction of 10.09 g Hg and 8.02 g Br2?

First, balance the chemical equation: Hg + Br2 → HgBr2. Calculate the molar amount of each reactant using their respective molar masses. Identify the limiting reactant (the one that produces the least amount of product). Calculate the theoretical yield of HgBr2 based on the limiting reactant.


1. When 200.2g of sulfur reacts with 100.3g of chlorine to produce disulfur dichloride acts as the limiting reactant?

The limiting reactant is chlorine.


Why is the term limiting used to describe the limiting reactant?

The term "limiting" is used to describe the reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction, thus limiting the amount of product that can be formed. It determines the maximum amount of product that can be produced based on its stoichiometry and quantity.

Why is the theoretical yield of a reaction determined only by the amount of the limiting reactant?

The theoretical yield of a reaction is determined by the limiting reactant because this reactant is completely consumed in the reaction, and the amount of product that can be formed is limited by the amount of the limiting reactant available. Any excess of the other reactant does not contribute to the formation of additional product beyond what is possible with the limiting reactant.


Will increasing the amount of limiting reactant in a reaction then increase the percent yield?

No, increasing the amount of limiting reactant will not increase the percent yield of a reaction. The percent yield is determined by the actual amount of product produced compared to the theoretical yield, which is based on the limiting reactant. Adding more of the limiting reactant will not change this relationship.


What is the definetions of limiting reactant in chemistery?

In a chemical reaction the limiting reactant is the reactant that there is the least of in the reaction; it determines the amount of product formed. In a chemical reaction it is the reactant that gets completely "used up"


What is the reactant called that gets used up first?

The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.


What is the theoretical yield for reaction when 10.1g Mg allowed to react with 10.6 g O2 11.9G MgO is collected Reaction 2Mg plus O2 equals 2MgO?

The first step is to determine the limiting reactant, which is the reactant that is used up first in the reaction. To do this, calculate the moles of each reactant using their molar masses. Then compare the mole ratio of the reactants to the stoichiometry of the reaction to find the limiting reactant. Once you have the limiting reactant, use its moles to calculate the theoretical yield of the product using the stoichiometry of the reaction.

What is the limiting reactant in alka-seltzer?

Sodium bicarbonate is the limiting reactant.


What is the percent yield for the reaction below when 544.5 g SO2 and 160.0 g O2 produce 382.0 g SO3?

Percent yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100% Calculate the moles of SO2 and O2 used, then determine the limiting reactant. From the limiting reactant, calculate the theoretical yield of SO3. Compare the actual yield to the theoretical yield to calculate the percent yield.


How does a limiting reagent affect how much product is formed?

The amount of product will be limited by the number of moles of the limitin... reagent.


What is the limiting reactant when 3.14g of nitrogen react with 2.79g of hydrogen to produce ammonia and how many grams of ammonia are produce?

To determine the limiting reactant, we need to find the moles of each reactant. Then, we calculate the amount of ammonia that can be produced from each reactant. Whichever reactant produces the least amount of ammonia is the limiting reactant. Finally, we calculate the grams of ammonia produced based on the limiting reactant.


What reactant gives the lowest yield by limiting the amount of product?

A reactant that gives the lowest yield by limiting the amount of product is called a limiting reactant. The limiting reactant will run out, so that only a limited amount of product can be made from the reactants.


What is the reactant that runs first out in a reaction called?

The Limiting Reactant is the reactant that runs out first in a reaction.
